Triplemanía XXXIII cements Konnan's legend at Arena CDMX

Triplemanía XXXIII presented one of its most special moments with the induction of Konnan into the AAA Hall of Fame. The wrestling pioneer who made history on both sides of the border received the tribute from the company at Arena CDMX, putting a cap on a career of more than three decades.

The master of ceremonies was Rey Mysterio, a longtime friend of Konnan and also a member of the Hall of Fame. The presenter Jesús Zúñiga introduced the masked wrestler, who spoke a few words in Spanish before introducing the new inductee. A video highlighted Konnan's milestones in his career in Lucha Libre AAA, WCW, and WWE, before welcoming the honoree to a standing ovation from the audience.

In the ring, Konnan, who described himself as a son of Triple A, expressed his gratitude for the recognition and remembered key figures in his journey such as Antonio Peña, Perro Aguayo, and Rey Mysterio. True to his style, he had a confrontation with a spectator who interrupted his speech and sent him away. After resolving the situation, he continued his speech amidst applause. He also wanted to acknowledge the people in his life who support him every day, mentioning Antonio Peña, Marisela Peña, and Dorian Roldán, who received boos for his current character.

Konnan recalled how he started in the world of professional wrestling by meeting key figures in his career, such as Rey Mysterio's uncle, who was the one who actually trained the WWE superstar to become what he is today.

In addition to the tribute, Konnan sat at the commentary table of Triplemanía alongside Corey Graves and JBL, enjoying a successful night both in front and behind the cameras. His induction into the AAA Hall of Fame recognizes the influence he had on generations of wrestlers and his fundamental role in the expansion of Mexican wrestling.
